Description

The sweet-toned, nylon-stringed ukulele originated in the 19th century in Hawaii. It gained great popularity in the U.S. during the early in 20th century and from there spread internationally. Ibanez is pleased to add the pantheon of this popular instrument with the UEWS5E which features an all-mahogany soprano body with a cutaway and C shape neck that makes it even easier to access all frets for fun solos when you're not just strumming along. Other appointments include a plastic saddle and nut, abalone rosette and chrome open gear tuners.

    nice ukulele. good tone and finger board feels nice. the cord included to connect to the amp did not work, so I suggest you buy a cord if you wish to use it with an amp.

    I was wondering if I could attach a normal guitar strap to this uke and I was wondering if it has a built in tuner. Thank you!
